“Yes, yes, that’s exactly it!” Alice quickly agreed. “I just didn’t know how to describe it.”

“Sweetie, why don’t we just go with the ones we liked earlier?” Mason said to Alice.

“Sure, sounds good!” Alice replied cheerfully.

“Have the two ladies made up their minds?” Vanessa asked, stepping forward again.

“Made up our minds? We picked out seven sets, not just one!” Mason declared.

“Seven?!” Vanessa was stunned, visibly taken aback.

The outfits here were pricey—three thousand per set was already considered cheap. The more expensive ones easily went over ten grand. Seven sets would easily tally up to at least sixty thousand dollars.

Oh my god, this was a massive sale!

“Yup, seven sets. Look, we’ve already decided on these two. Take them down and get them wrapped up for us. We’ll keep browsing a bit more,” Alice instructed, pointing at two outfits nearby.

“Uh—yes! Of course!” Vanessa quickly took the two outfits over to the counter.

Just then, Kimberly noticed Vanessa returning and rais

    "The doctor assigned to the andrology department had to take emergency leave, so I’m stepping in temporarily," Mason Alvarez said calmly, taking a sip of water."You’re stepping in?" Joseph blinked. "Wait a minute—Nova First Hospital is huge. Don’t tell me there’s only one doctor who can handle andrology?""Besides, you’re not even specialized in this field. How can you just fill in like that?""Who told you I’m not specialized?" "I studied andrology during my advanced training. Doing a simple exam like this? Please, it’s no big deal.""And for the record," she added with a mischievous grin, "you’re my first andrology patient. Shouldn’t you feel honored?"Joseph stared at her, feeling very much not honored. That smile of hers—it had trouble written all over it. Why did she look more like a predator circling her prey?He, on the other hand, felt like a helpless lamb about to be devoured."Uhm... Professor Alvarez, maybe we should ask someone else to handle this?" he suggested weakl

    "Of course I care. We’re colleagues, after all—it’s only natural to look out for you. I just didn’t want you to get caught changing in front of others and end up in an awkward situation.""That’s why I reminded you," Joseph explained quickly."I see... So there’s no concern beyond just being colleagues?" Mason Alvarez straightened up slightly, her voice tinged with disappointment."That’s not what I meant," Joseph hurried to clarify."Then tell me, do you care for me the same way you care for that little girl?""Regardless of your answer, it doesn’t matter. Whether or not you care, I’ll still care for you—just like she does." "Because you, you damned man, have this inexplicable charm that makes people unable to walk away."Her cheeks flushed faintly as she looked at him with soft, affectionate eyes, her voice unusually serious."I’m just an ordinary man. Thank you, Professor Alvarez, for thinking so highly of me… I really don’t know how to repay your kindness." Joseph, caught off g

    Joseph glanced over briefly, then reluctantly looked away. But the image from the resting room seemed to have a strange, almost magical pull— his gaze kept drifting back, as if drawn by some invisible force.Mason Alvarez and Alice had completely different body types. Alice was petite and delicate, her soft, supple figure charming in a way that made one want to hold her forever. Mason Alvarez, on the other hand, was tall, voluptuous, and carried a sensual allure that could instantly awaken a man’s primal urge to conquer.Just watching her silhouette through the partition made Joseph’s mouth go dry. Especially as she moved around, changing clothes—he couldn’t help but recall her long, seductive legs. His cheeks flushed with heat.Was she doing this on purpose? Surely, she didn’t see him as an outsider anymore.After a while, Mason began to emerge from the resting room. Joseph quickly averted his eyes, trying to appear proper—though, deep down, he knew how hollow that pretense w

    "Well then, I won’t stand on ceremony. Let’s head over together tomorrow," said Joseph decisively."OK, no problem at all," Mason Alvarez replied with equal ease."Goodbye, Professor Wilson. Have a good night!""Oh, and remember—wine may be delightful, but your health comes first.""You must understand, there are only exhausted oxen, never ruined fields."With those strange and cryptic words, Mason Alvarez ended the call."This crazy woman..." Joseph muttered to himself when he realized the call had ended.Sometimes, Professor Alvarez really did seem a little unhinged—nothing like a typical teacher. Shaking his head with a resigned smile, he made his way back to his room to rest.---The following afternoon, after lunch at the cafeteria, Joseph, Alice, and Mason Alvarez headed toward the parking lot where Joseph had parked his car."Joseph, I have class this afternoon, so I can’t go with you to Nova First Hospital. Just go with this old hag.""If anything happens, give me a call," Ali

    That strange sensation—a mix of breathlessness and pleasure—was almost impossible to resist."Huh? You can’t breathe?"Startled, Alice quickly loosened her embrace.She realized that holding Joseph’s head so tightly might have actually smothered him a little. Her cheeks flushed as she thought back on what she’d done—perhaps she had gone a bit too far.But then again… she remembered the way Joseph had nuzzled in, as if he enjoyed it."Joseph, you’re such a bad man. So bad!" she pouted, giving him a light smack."Ahem, I didn’t do it on purpose," Joseph said, his face turning red with embarrassment.Seeing his flustered expression, Alice couldn’t help but giggle."Silly Joseph—so what if it was on purpose? You did everything you wanted to me last night. What’s there to be shy about now?"Her head nestled against his neck, her voice soft and intimately close."Are you really not embarrassed?" Joseph asked."Well, I am a girl, after all," Alice said seriously. "So even if I say I’m not em

    "That’s good to hear. He’s recovering better than I expected."Joseph nodded."Heidi went to Ravenford City. So these past few days, I’ve been the one looking after Grandpa. We have maids at home, of course, but he prefers having family near.""I’ve done so many things to disappoint him, yet… he never once blamed me. That only makes me feel more ashamed."Fiona’s voice softened, tinged with remorse."Then take good care of him. I’ll visit next Saturday."Joseph said gently."Thank you, Professor Wilson. I need to bring Grandpa his meal, so I’ll go now."Fiona bid him farewell.Joseph replied in kind, then lay down on the bed.He scrolled through his chat with Alice, then checked the forum post about the free clinic.There were already thousands of replies. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive—students were genuinely excited and eager for the event.Judging by the reactions, the turnout would likely be huge.Joseph couldn’t help but marvel at the power of online communication.Afte
